After Action Report

The Heat demolished the Hornets 120-99. The Heat got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. The Heat sent shots into the fifth row all night; the Heat came in with something to prove after a loss. The Heat locker room is humming, and it showed. Garbage time started early.
